Why you should have your teen take the Science test prep course? 

Science is basically how the world around us works. People study science so that they can 

understand the planet and the universe better. Some basic types of science are biology, 

anatomy, psychology, chemistry, astronomy and physics. Things like cooking, transportation, 

navigation, construction, physics, logical and critical thinking – it’s all part of science, too. 

It’s not just about the test, it’s because without science we wouldn't have all the great 

inventions that we have today. It’s all about STE@M TOO!
